Back in the saddle . . .

So . . . things have changed a bit since I first started this blog. My work schedule is nearly the polar opposite (& apparently I'm trying to work myself to death). Tuesdays are no longer weigh-in days. Tuesdays are wake up early because you have to go count all the money in the store at 8 in the morning days. Thursdays are my steady off day now, so by default they now become weigh-in day. They are now my only weekday off to get things done, so we'll see how tricky that becomes shortly . . .

But today is Thursday. And since I'm back in the blogging game now, I guess that means I should update.

I'm going to be honest, I haven't been super productive since last week. I also haven't had a day off & worked both jobs on 2 of those days. I'm busy, give me a break. I did fit in a few Zumba workouts in my apartment & tried to sync up my schedule to get to the gym with my workout buddy Terra. That didn't turn out so well, though. However, we're going to make a legit schedule because we want to get in a routine again. It's coming.

I did eat really well the past week, though. I owe most of that to my handy dandy Happy Herbivore cookbook. Her black bean burgers have been my go to lunch for work for the past few weeks now & I am in LOVE with the Tofu Scramble.

It's to DIE FOR. Especially with a little BBQ sauce on top. Mmmmmmmm.

Anyway . . . When I started this here blog last year I was tipping the scales at 286 lbs. Ridiculous, right? I saw some old pictures of me last night that Terra found on her camera & its crazy how different I look (also, who let me wear such hideous clothes? Really?). I was squeezing into XL mens t-shirts & size 26/28 pants. Last night I bought a size Large dress at Target. In the Juniors section.

I almost screamed.

Alright, let's get onto it.
Previous weight : 220 (as of last official weigh-in)
Current weight : 207.5
Total lost 78.5 lbs.

8 more lbs & I'm under 200 for the first time in my ADULT LIFE. That's one milestone I'm pretty stoked about. Just saying. Just 21.5 away from hitting 100 lost. Dang. Its game time.

Oh & in 67 days I'm doing a half-marathon (more on that later). I'm insane.

If you're more interested inchinese diet pills muscle mass building (that everyone ought to even if you're not just a bodybuilder because more lean muscle mass on your entire body enhances the potential for weight loss -- because of a elevated fat burning capacity), you almost certainly ought to use yet another kind meizitang of take advantage of proteins completely (casein or take advantage of proteins isolates). I could elaborate with this in case you are interested.
